Demi Lovato Announces Comeback at the 2020 GRAMMY Awards
What's known as music's biggest night is shaping up to be bigger than expected.
Demi Lovato announced earlier today that she will be performing live on the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards later this month. She will join previously announced performers such as Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, and Aerosmith, as well as the show's host Alicia Keys.
Ariana Grande is set to perform too - however, Grande pulled out of her 2019 GRAMMY performance at the last minute, so we won't hold our breath.

Demi Lovato Breaks Social Media Silence After Month-Long Absence
"I told you the next time you'd hear from me I'd be singing," the 27-year-old posted via Instagram Tuesday morning. This is the first time we've seen Dems perform since she was hospitalized for a drug-related incident in July 2018..
After a 12-day stay at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai hospital, Lovato voluntarily checked herself into a private rehab facility. She took to Instagram on July 24th to break her silence on the matter.
"I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction," her Instagram post began.
"What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet." Lovato also went on to thank God, her family, her team, and the staff of Cedars-Sinai hospital. She also credited her fans for their unwavering dedication.
"I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond," Demi said. "Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time."

Lovato didn't specify any details about her performance, and neither did a statement released directly from The GRAMMYs. . Her manager Scooter Braun (who also oversees the Biebs, Ariana, more) reposted the same image on his Instagram account. His post included a hashtag that has Lovatics speculating about new music.
No, really, his post said #newmusic. The charismatic die-hard-Demi-fans were then responsible for trending the hashtag "#DemiIsComing" via Twitter in response to today's hype.
Indeed, it is about time for the great comeback of Demi.
Lovato previously performed at the 2016 GRAMMY Awards during a tribute to honor Lionel Richie. She returned to the stage in 2017 with a rendition of the Bee Gees' "Stayin Alive," which was also a part of a tribute segment.
Demi's no stranger to the award show's ballots either. Her 2017 album Confident was nominated in the Pop Vocal Album category. In 2019, she was nominated with Christina Aguilera in the Best Pop Duo or Group Performance category for being featured in Xtina's 2018 tune "Fall In Line."
The GRAMMY Awards will air on CBS at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on Sunday, January 26th.
